Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Younes Ebnoutalib after sending scouts to watch the 23-year-old in action ahead of the January transfer window.
The German forward scored the only goal in Frankfurt’s 1-0 Bundesliga win over Cologne, taking his league tally for the season to five.
Tottenham scouts watch Ebnoutalib
Ebnoutalib has reportedly been on Tottenham’s radar for several months, and the latest scouting visit suggests the north London club remain serious about assessing his potential.
His physical presence, movement and finishing have helped establish him as one of the Bundesliga’s emerging attacking prospects. Tottenham are understood to be considering whether his ability to lead the line could strengthen their forward options.
The striker’s form has also brought international recognition. Germany head coach Jurgen Klopp has shown faith in Ebnoutalib by handing him a senior call-up.
Premier League competition for Frankfurt striker
Tottenham face competition for his signature, with Brighton and Everton also monitoring the player. Newcastle United have reportedly joined the group of Premier League clubs following his progress.
Frankfurt are in a strong position to keep Ebnoutalib, having signed him in January and secured him on a long-term contract running until 2031.
Spurs are expected to continue watching his development before deciding whether to make a formal approach. If his form continues, interest in the forward could increase further before future transfer windows.
